...fast food's rise in overseas markets. As the industry pushes its high-fat, high-cholesterol, meat-based foods, rates of diabetes, heart disease and stroke are skyrocketing. Obesity rates have tripled over the past 20 years in countries that have adopted the American diet, according to a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine in January 2007. Rates of diabetes are expected to reach pandemic levels by 2030. Given all that Americans have learned about how diet affects health, shouldn't we export that knowledge rather than buckets of fried chicken? I'd love to see creative marketing...

Last year, when the International Monetary Fund published a paper on offshore tax havens, it included Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, Jersey, the Bahamas and several other countries where the rich stash their money beyond the reach of grabby governments back home.

While British citizens shoulder taxes of up to 40%, residents who weren't born there can take advantage of the nondomicile - or nondom - rule, which means they're only taxed on income...
Inside the fortified converted hotel about a hundred middle-aged men in dark jackets jostle and speculate between 10 a.m. and noon three days a week. Since 2004, trading has been done the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper. Buyers shout at or call into their brokers, who stand around a series of white dry-erase boards that list each company's share buy and sell price. A man in the back takes out a pair of opera classes to read the writing on the wall. Once a sale is final, buyers wait 15 to 20 days...
